Homemade Breadcrumbs 自制面包糠

What do you usually do with the bread crust from the loaf of bread you buy? When you make sandwiches for your kids, do you throw away the bread trimmings? There is bound to be a lot of bread wastage if you are into making bento, right?

Next time, keep all of those to make breadcrumbs you can use for your cooking. No wastage. You can keep the breadcrumbs in air-tight container in the freezer for months.

I'm going to share how to do this using oven and pan over stove top.

For Oven Owners:

All all bread crust into strips.

Place all the bread crusts on a tray flat.Toast in a preheat oven at 120c for 15 mins till the bread crusts are dry. We do not want to brown them.

Place them in a blender and grind them into your desire texture.

If you do not have a blender, place them in a Ziploc bag and roll them with a rolling pin or similar object to crush them into bits.

When they are completely cooled, store them in air-tight container till you are ready to use.

For Non-Oven Owners:

Cut bread crust into strips.

Place all bread crusts into a blender and grind them into your desire texture. I do not recommend you grind them too finely because it turns brown easily when toasting on pan.

Heat a pan till hot then lower the heat.

Place all bread crumbs into the pan and toast them till they are dry. Keep stirring and tossing to avoid burning the crumbs.

When they are completely cooled, store them in air-tight container till you are ready to use.
